Folks who use and are accustomed to working with Linux or Unix will find familiarity with A2osX. Many of the commands and much of the Shell interface follows the User Interface (UI) presented by Linux. There is however, one key difference, that makes A2osX adhere more to the ProDOS model which is the support for multiple distinct volumes. In Linux there is only one root represented by / (typically the boot volume) with all other drives appearing as sub directories of this volume. A2osX instead continues to present each volume separately by their name as does ProDOS. A2osX does present a BOOT/SYSTEM directory (where A2OSX.SYSTEM was loaded from) and uses this for finding critical system directories and files such as BIN and ETC.

The following are the primary sub-directories used by A2osX. While A2osX supports all standard ProDOS media/volumes and you can use its commands and utilities (like cp [copy] ls [catalog] rm [delete]) on these volumes, A2osX and its modules, commands, scripts, etc. must be installed under one directory that has these directories (and their related files) stored under it. Below where you see a ./ (dot slash) in front of each path, think of that as the volume name or directory name where you have installed A2osX. For example, on the media we supplied called BOOT, which has a volume name of /A2OSX.BOOT/, you will find directories named BIN and ETC. The full path name for those dirs would be /A2OSX.BOOT/BIN/ and /A2OSX.BOOT/ETC/. If you installed A2OSX on your own hard drive called /MYVOL1 in a directory called A2OSX, then your ./ would refer to /MYVOL1/A2OSX/ and your BIN would be /MYVOL1/A2OSX/BIN/. See the installation section for more information on using A2osX with your own volumes.
